Well we get a call my Sister was doing better and sitting up today. They were going to start feeding her and may not need to put the feeding tube in. But 1 hour later another call she passed away.................... That was her last spark. RIP Karen.

Other than that, all is well... family is good. Doing take out BBQ for Mother's Day dinner tomorrow, just the 4 of us.

Gov is opening Ohio back up, I also think this is gonna back fire. Our numbers have never leveled off, but I think he's feeling the pressure.

Doing well. No complaints.
Healthy and alive.
Finished the kitchen finally!
Here's pics to prove it!
This kitchen has come a long way since we bought this house 3 years ago. New black cultured granite sink, custom painted counter tops, more hours than I can recall put into repairing the walls, the trim and the cabinets. Many more hours went into refinishing the cabinets. Lots of sanding. I think I have 5 coats of acrylic enamel sprayed on each cabinet door. The lower cabinets have an additional 3 coats of crystal clear poly/acrylic sealer over the paint. Extra protection for when my dogs decide to prop their freddy Kruger claws into my cabinets while begging for treats.

On low. Need to pick up mushroom, Olives and veg stock when supermarkets open.

Also doing slow roasted broccoli and other veg. On about 120°C for several hours.

We are both mostly vego these days.

There was a small outbreak at a larger work place here recently. Other than that, pretty good.

Saturday check in. Everything is goin as good as could be expected here today, my brother finally got out of the hospital yesterday after 69 days of being in. Some 4 day recovery from a simple surgery:rolleyes::rolleyes:. And he wonders why I don't believe in modern day doctors, or should I call them as I see them, pill writers.:mad::mad::mad: But on the other hand it got down to 29 here this early morning and by some stroke of luck it didn't kill my garden:).

morning

it is actually 10pm saturday, but i'm going with good morning & happy mother's day to all mothers

i never ask ages, but i am 40, and i suspect some of the older VU ladies think of not so young VU members as not unlike sons & daughters. Or at least someone to care for and look after

IDK, probably stupid, i just sometimes get that vibe :oops:

I'll readily admit feeling maternal toward some of the members here. That's just me, though, and I do the same thing in my face-to-face life, too.

How about this: @nadalama and Mr Juicy Lucy are distant cousins, and we found the common great grandfather from the 1800s

Doing good here, been a very warm day...in the 70s.

BTW...this 'TP shortage' either is just piss-poor management or it's intentional.

The discount store I go to is flooded with the stuff.


For real, I went there and entire aisles full of 12 packs and under. Like $12 a 12-pack. xD

Witness it...

As I said, it was a warm day...we ain't accustomed to it yet. I've been draggin' azz all day and Milly is like WTF happened?..lol

Which causes this: Floor Cat.

Crashed out on the nice & cool floor of the bathroom. I'm jealous.
A good plan, as it is 78F in my Apt at nearly 8pm. o_O

Happy Mother's Day! Every day should be Mother's Day. Not just one day of the year, created solely for the benefit of retailers. After all, none of us would be here, if it weren't for our Mom's. :inlove:<3 :inlove:<3 :inlove:<3

We Love You Mom's of the World! You are Special Every Day of the Year!

There are only a handful of holidays that have any real meaning for me. The one that celebrates our thankfulness to the One Who gave us our Great Nation. The one that celebrates the birth of our great Nation. The one's that celebrate our brave Veterans and Military that keep our Great Nation free. And, the one that celebrates our laborers. All the rest, imo, were created solely for the benefit of the retailers.
